Practitioner Certificate in Information Assurance Architecture

 

Our five day practitioner course prepares you for a career in security architecture. A Security Architect is a senior-level enterprise architect role, either within a dedicated security team or as part of a more general Enterprise Architecture team. The course prepares you to take either

the BCS Practitioner Certificate in Information Assurance Architecture (PCiIAA) exam or the CREST Registered Technical Security Architect (CRTSA) exam for Senior or Lead Practitioners. It has been designed to cover all learning objectives required of all domains covered in both

certifications. You will also receive access to an online resource that includes content, exercises, model answers, topical quizzes with feedback, module tests and a mock exam to prepare you for taking and successfully completing the BCS PCiIAA exam on the final day of the course or the CREST CRTSA exam at a later date.
